The German Foreign Office quickly got the details of this proposal. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been well received by all circles for its outstanding intelligence work in China, and the head of state also appreciates their achievements. This time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew that this was an excellent opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Sure enough, this plan was taken seriously by Hitler.

In order to realize this plan, the Germans sent people to the German prisoner of war camp in Poland in January 1942. The concentration camp found a Soviet prisoner of war willing to serve Germany.

Captain Company Commander Popov was taken to the office. This time, in addition to the Germans on the prison side, there was another person who remained silent.

This time, the prison authorities asked a series of questions, many of which had already been asked, such as how his father had been purged. Why his father was purged, and he was still an officer. How to show loyalty to Germany by deeds. The real purpose of serving Germany.

Popov was a company commander in the Soviet army, captured in the summer of 1941. He was determined to defect to Germany and did not hide all his information, including the secrets of the Red Army that he knew. He confessed that his purpose in defecting to the Germans was because his father had been purged, and his father-in-law had also been purged. He wanted to rebel against Stalin.

After this conversation, Popov, along with several surrendered Soviet officers, was sent to the spy school, where they were first brainwashed and given a strong anti-Stalin education. The second is to learn a variety of espionage skills, with a focus on assassination skills.

A month later, Popov was sent out on several missions, all of which were to assassinate Soviet party and political dignitaries in the Soviet occupation zone. In these missions, he performed well, far better than several others.

After several missions, German intelligence spoke highly of him. By June 1942, he had been selected for a mission. The German spy matched him with a life girlfriend named Eva. Eva was a well-trained spy, and her job was a radio operator and translator. But in essence, she also had the task of supervising Popov.

According to the scheme of Chinese battlefield spies, a team of engineers developed special weapons for the operation, including short-barreled recoilless artillery. The gun's hollow-charge armor-piercing shells can penetrate 45 mm of armor. The gun was strapped to the right arm with a belt and was equipped with a push-button firing device.

The weapon is small, the launch tube is on the back of the hand, the launcher has the back of the hand up, the arm is straight, in the shape of a punch, and the miniature cannonball will be fired at the push of a button on the hand. The shells are the same size as the machine gun bullets and are extremely powerful.

German weapons specialists had planned to use a caliber 60 mm short-barreled recoilless gun, but the Foreign Ministry insisted that it was too large and unnecessary. Later, the experts reduced the caliber and made it into a very small shell.

This time, the plan was to infiltrate Yekaterinburg with a spy Popov with all the necessary documents, as an ordinary Soviet man. The specific mission was to track Stalin's Pike sedan, look for an opportunity to assassinate Stalin, and use a short-barreled recoilless gun to smash the car to pieces along with its occupants.

This time, the Germans launched a campaign, attracting the attention of the Soviet troops, sending the Popovs to Yekaterinburg.

This time, instead of just two of them, a squad of eight people was sent, divided into an observation group, a traffic group, and two assassination teams. In addition, the spy network in Yekaterinburg will also provide them with intelligence and other help.

Because of the assistance of the White Army, the delivery went very smoothly. The Soviet patrol was attracted by the escorting White Army, giving the two an opportunity to approach their target.

Historically, the Germans were preparing to assassinate Stalin in the occupied zone, and at this time, the Soviet espionage activities in the occupied zone were already quite strong, and they found clues, such as why trench coats with wide sleeves were customized, why motorcycles and planes were modified. They let Moscow intensify patrols.

Popov assassinated Stalin, and as soon as the two arrived, they showed their horses' feet, because they were airborne after the rain, and the two of them were dry, and they were immediately seen by the Soviet army and arrested. In addition, Politov posed as the Hero of the Soviet Union, but his medal was worn in the wrong place.

Other assassinations have failed for a variety of reasons.

To put it bluntly, the reason for the failure was that there were no locals to help them.

In July, the whole group entered Yekaterinburg one after another. The group devoted all its energy to studying Stalin's laws of action. In August, an opportunity that had been chosen, but Stalin changed his itinerary on the fly and missed it.

With the help of White Army spies, the group safely resided in the same city as Stalin.

And just like that, it was September 14, 1942.

Popov received information that Stalin had gone to the temporary US embassy for a meeting and would leave the US embassy at about 5 p.m. and return to the political bureau building in 15 minutes. Stalin in the third car.

The group immediately made a plan. Plans were made before, and now they can be executed.

On the afternoon of September 14, 1942, Yekaterinburg.

At 5:10, a Soviet officer rode a straddle motorcycle and walked eastward, and a Soviet female soldier sat on the motorcycle sidecar. The two of them were holding document bags, looking like they were on official business.

At 5:14, his motorcycle arrived on the opposite side of the gate of the political bureau. The street is not wide, only a dozen meters. The motorcycle shook for a while and stalled, and the officer had to get out of the car and check the motorcycle.

A sentry came up and said, "Comrade, please get out of here at once." ”

The Soviet officer said: "The motorcycle is off." Wait for me to kick it off. Soon fine. As he spoke, he started to start the motorcycle. After a few starts, the motorcycle did not ignite.

At this time, a convoy drove over in the distance, a total of four vehicles.

The officer's motorcycle was finally launched.

Ride a straddle bike and head east. The sentry was relieved to see that he was leaving immediately. At this time, several more people came to the side of the street, somewhat suspicious, and the sentry went over with a few other agents to deal with them.

The convoy came, began to slow down, turned, and entered the gate.

The officer's motorcycle was launched.

The first car entered the gate, and the second drove towards the gate. The sentinels had already chased several pedestrians off the street. A plainclothes man noticed that the motorcycle was too close to the sedan and came forward to chase it.

The officer's motorcycle was only six meters away from the third car. The officer raised the fat sleeve of his right hand and pointed at the third car, only to hear a tom, and then the third car exploded with a bang, and the sedan rolled over and smashed into the rear of the second car.

The second car was smashed, immediately accelerated, almost crashed into the building, braked suddenly, squeaked, and then rushed into the compound.

The gasoline on the car leaked and exploded immediately. The blast knocked several nearby guards to the ground. Blowing the Assassin's straddle motorcycle to a rock.

The officer hurried away on a motorcycle.

Plainclothes opened fire.

The female officer on the motorcycle also opened fire, and the plainclothes were knocked down.

More than a dozen plainclothes men chased after them.

A few passers-by who had just been kicked out also left.

This thrilling assassination took only five or six seconds before and after.

The Soviet guards moved quickly and pursued in cars through the streets. The driver seemed to be very familiar with the terrain, walking through the streets and alleys, and almost threw off the guards several times. Several members of the guard force were particularly powerful, driving motorcycles and chasing very closely.

After turning a corner, the motorcycle fell into the river.

Ten minutes later, the guards determined that the people on the motorcycle had fled. Hundreds of homes in the vicinity were searched, but no Assassin was found.
